too drawn out

30 July 2011 - Published on Amazon.com

It had its moments (like waaaaaayyyyy back in the first few chapters) from there just a lot of the same ole same ole. Shame, as he writes well but the story for myself dosen't end well (not that you didn't see it coming like 1/2 way through) and is very very very weak and takes waaaaaaayyyy too long to get to there.
It has it's creepy moments but I found the things creepier as just loose shapes than what they turned out to be.
IMO would of function better as a shorter work.
If I had to do it again at the listed priced I'd of skipped it for a few bucks less the good stuff makes it not a total time waster.

Certainly not run of the mill suspense

While I didn't love the way it ended, it was such an interesting read that I ordered another of his books right away. For someone who refuses to finish a book that doesn't interest me that says a lot!

A Neverland of lost girls

3 April 2009 - Published on Amazon.com

Welcome to a Neverland of lost girls. It is an old house of empty, shadow-washed corridors where silvery ripples catch at the corner of the eye, and the scent of cinnamon and apple pie tickle the nostrils. A soft chant begins just behind the nearest closed door: "One, two, buckle your shoe..."

Pathos is one of the hardest emotions to sustain in a novel of the supernatural, yet Christopher Golden manages it very well in "Wildwood Road." This is a story bathed in wan November moonlight, a little lost girl by the side of the road, the fey touch of a Ray Bradbury in the haunting.

If the author didn't have such a sure, sensitive touch, this book could have degenerated into one big belly laugh about menopause and really awful women. But it doesn't. "Wildwood Road" reminds me of "Carmilla," by the great Victorian supernatural author, Sheridan Le Fanu. Both are vampire tales where the psychological overrides the physical torment of the victims. Women prey on women. Neither story has a tidy resolution. Golden leaves his victims maimed or dead. No one lives happily ever after--sadder but wiser would be a more apropos cliché.

He also ensorcels his readers without sickening them on gouged eyeballs and steaming entrails. Don't be fooled by Stephen King's name appearing prominently on the cover. "Wildwood Road" creeps up on the reader. It doesn't splatter open skulls with a baseball bat. What I found most rewarding about his style was that he develops his story through his characters. He doesn't just shove them into one ghastly situation after another. Even the ghostly little girl, Scooter develops a dark side. I won't ruin the story for you, but I was shocked by Scooter's real persona. I should have been ready for it, but I wasn't. Subtle is the story-telling of this author.

Golden Prose From Christopher Golden.

23 November 2008 - Published on Amazon.com

I first read Christopher Golden in Leisure Horror's release, Four Dark Nights, a novella he penned called The Pyre. And I knew after reading it that I would have to buy more of his writings.

This guy knows how to spin a good, spooky tale, and keep you turning the pages way past the time you planned on getting to bed-trust me on this.

I won't get into every specific of the story, others reviews have done that, but I will say everything is set up for a good old-fashioned ghost story/supernatural thriller.

Michael Dansky is driving home Halloween night, a little drunk, maybe, definitely tired, almost hits what he thinks is a kid in the road, but turns out to be the ghost of a little girl who only says to him, "Come find me ..."

From there every aspect of Michael's life pretty much heads down a road plagued with insane visions, nightmares, altering personalities, and more supernatural encounters, as he tries to locate the creepy house he dropped the ghost-girl off at.

Golden't prose and storytelling power are in top-notch form on this one. Half way through this book I hurried up and ordered Strangewood and The Ferryman. His writing will become addicting, I promise.

This is a perfect book to read late at night when cold winds blow and you think you just might hear a weird noise outside your window.

The scary scenes in this book are written like actual nightmares, very creepy. You won't find hardcore Horror the likes of an Edward Lee, or even Jack Ketchum, but you'll come to be a bit freaked out by Golden's way of using his words to spook you-he can stir the morbid atmosphere also.

Golden fans take note of Wildwood Road, and don't let this one slip by you.
